container identification
good morning,

I would like your opinion on this strange canister (72cm long, 45 cm diameter) which was lying somewhere in a filed in the Cher Department (in the middle of France) .

Supposed to be from an aircraft and it does look like an A/C part I would say.

I placed this request on "allied air force" because it reminds me of a rocket cluster, but I have no certitude : any idea as to what this could have been ?

(no markings)

thanks

GC
